The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 571: Inviting Favor

It was a coincidence that when Yinzhen was outside Concubine Zhen's door, Concubine Rong stopped singing.

This made Yinzhen hear clearly what Concubine Zhen and her servant said.

Before Yinzhen could get angry, Concubine Rong's singing sounded from next door, even more melodious than before.

"Persuade you not to hesitate the golden robes, and persuade you to hesitate to take your youth.

Flowers are ready to be broken when they bloom, but don’t wait to break branches when there are no flowers left. "

Yinzhen clenched his fists, turned around and walked out of the courtyard of Guanju Tower.

When the emperor came, Concubine Rong had just finished singing a song and was drinking water to moisten her throat with a smile on her face.

Yinzhen still did not inform anyone and walked straight into the courtyard of Xinyinwu.

The palace maid who was accompanying Concubine Rong to warm up her voice was Baoque, and she was heard speaking happily.

"The young lady's voice is getting better and better! The emperor will definitely like it if he hears it!"

The voice of Noble Lady Rong came from inside the house.

"Well, it would be great if I could have the honor of singing in front of the Emperor.

It’s just that the Emperor has been doting on Sister Zhen these days, so he probably doesn’t have time to see me.”

Bao Que said.

"How could that be? The Emperor was fond of the young lady before, but he was a man.
They are all greedy for novelty. When the emperor has some time, he will definitely think of you."

Noble Lady Rong smiled.

"It's okay. I just hope that the emperor is healthy. Whoever stays with the emperor,
As long as the emperor is happy, it's fine. The emperor has never been the emperor of one person.

Even though Concubine Hua was as favored as she was, she never dared to expect that the Emperor would be hers alone.

What's more, I am such a humble person. Well, go get some water.

Let's rest early. I haven't sung for a long time and I'm tired today."

Baoque agreed with a smile and was about to open the door and ask someone to get some water. Su Peisheng looked at Yinzhen's expression, coughed twice, and spoke loudly.

"The Emperor has arrived~!"

Concubine Rong was very surprised and came out to greet him immediately.

When she opened the door, her elegant dress caught Yinzhen's eye first, making him feel refreshed.

When Concubine Zhen heard that Concubine Rong next door was sleeping with the emperor, she was stunned for a moment and hurriedly called Zhou Ninghai to ask.

"Why did Your Majesty want to go to Noble Lady Rong's place today?"

Zhou Ninghai Road.

"I didn't know that the emperor had just walked to the gate of our courtyard, and before I had time to report it, the emperor went to Xinyinwu again."

Huanbi said bitterly.

"It must be that when the Emperor came here just now, he heard Concubine Rong singing and was seduced by her charm!
My lady, you must think of a way to snatch the emperor away from you!"

Concubine Zhen scolded Huanbi lightly.

"Shut up! Be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall. Lady Rong has a beautiful voice, and it's a talent that she can attract the emperor."

But even though she said this, she felt very uncomfortable.

She had waited in the palace for more than ten years and finally won the emperor's favor, but Concubine Rong was here to snatch her favor away.

It’s a pity that my relationship with Concubine Hui has become distant over the years, and now I have no one to vent my grievances to.

Concubine Zhen was stunned for a long while, and then she heard Concubine Rong's singing coming from the next yard again, this time with a lighter tune.

"Lotus can be picked in the south of the Yangtze River. The lotus leaves are so lush. There are two carps playing with each other in the green waves. One fish plays on the lotus leaves to the east, and the other plays on the lotus leaves to the south. Whose girl is in the deepest part of the lotus leaves? She throws a lotus across the water with a smile."

Occasionally there was Yinzhen's hearty laughter, but since it was across the courtyard, the laughter could only be heard at a low level.

Concubine Zhen seemed not to hear the noise from next door. She ordered people to take out her zither and place it in the yard, and then she started playing the zither under the bright moon.

Her tunes are quiet and gentle, and the girl's longing feelings are vividly expressed between the strings.

Yinzhen, who was playing with Concubine Rong, naturally heard the sound of the piano. He stopped and pricked up his ears to listen.

Concubine Rong, who was nestled in his arms, stopped laughing and listened quietly for a while, then raised her head from Yinzhen's arms.

"Your Majesty, this is Sister Zhen playing the piano. Although I am not good at playing the piano,
But Sister Zhen's piano playing is exquisite, and it clearly shows her longing for the Emperor."

Yinzhen lowered his head to look at Concubine Rong who was nestled in his arms, with a hint of a smile on his lips.

"I haven't come to see you for a long time, don't you miss me?"

Rong Guiren blinked and looked very innocent.

"Your Majesty, you have wronged me. I haven't seen you for a long time, but I have been looking forward to seeing you day and night!
But, when I heard Sister Zhen expressing her deep feelings through the music of the piano, I couldn’t bear it.

Sister Zhen has never had the opportunity to serve the emperor since she entered the palace. Now she has finally gained his favor.
Naturally, I want to be with the emperor day and night. Although I miss the emperor,

But I can’t bear to compete with Sister Zhen for the emperor’s favor, how about ~ Your Majesty go and see Sister?"

Nothing could be seen on Yinzhen's face, he was still smiling, but that smile had an unknown meaning.

"You are so generous, you keep saying you miss me, but you persuade me to see someone else.

I am the emperor, I can pamper whomever I want. I have been staying in Guanju Tower these days,
It makes some people have thoughts that they shouldn’t have. The music is wonderful, but it disturbs people’s sweet dreams.”

Yinzhen said to the outside of the door.

"Su Peisheng! Go tell the noble lady next door that if I don't want to go there anymore, just play the piano to win my favor!"

Su Peisheng responded with “Yeah” and left in a hurry.

Rong Guiren, who was nestled in Yinzhen's arms, curled up the corner of her mouth into a smile, and her pair of arms, as soft as lotus roots, climbed up Yinzhen's neck as soft as boneless.

After a night of spring, Yinzhen felt very comfortable.

As soon as the morning court was over, rewards flowed into Xinyinwu like a stream.

The eunuchs from the Imperial Household Department who were delivering rewards were in a hurry, filing in with silk brocade and various jewels to present to Concubine Rong.

Rong Guiren had a faint smile on her face, and sent someone to take the reward silver to give to the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs who were delivering the rewards. Everyone thanked her happily and went back.

Liuzhu and Huanbi lay on the gate of Guanju Tower and peeked at what was happening outside. When Huanbi heard the palace servants from the Ministry of Internal Affairs praising Concubine Rong, she stomped her feet in anger and ran into the house to tell Concubine Zhen.

Nian Shilan also sent people to send many things to Concubine Rong. In this way, who in the palace would not be jealous of Concubine Rong's honor and favor?

For example, a woman like Li Guiren, who has been in the palace for more than ten years but has not received any favor, would be so jealous that her eyes would turn red.

So on the first day of May, when paying respects to Nian Shilan, Concubine Li became sarcastic.

To other people, Concubine Li might not dare to say much, but to Concubine Rong.

This man, who in her eyes came from a humble family and was favored only because of his good voice, was a thorn in her heart.

Concubine Li and her companions arrived at the Yiku Palace early. Nian Shilan was still in the back hall and had not come out, so everyone sat down and drank tea.

Concubine Cao is now dressed much more delicately. She doesn't have to be so cautious about her status and not dare to dress up. Instead, Nian Shilan always tells everyone in the harem that they are all of a good age and there is no need to make themselves look like old women.

So Concubine Li was drinking tea and looking at Concubine Rong, but she was actually speaking to Concubine Cao.

"Oh, I haven't seen Sister Cao for a long time. I didn't expect that she is so beautiful now!

Look at Miss Cao's whole demeanor, even I, as a sister, am jealous!"

After Laba Festival comes the New Year, and the people are packing up to prepare for the New Year.
